For about a year, the American Studies Assn. has been offering a very public object lesson in how to destroy a scholarly organization. Ostensibly devoted to the study of all things American, the 5,000-member academic cohort has ventured outside its natural borders and into the crossfire of Israeli-Palestinian politics by voting to bestow pariah status on Israel.

This information that was received this morning August 13. The hypocritical Boycott Divestment and Sanction (BDS) Movement has been on our college and university campuses for years, calling for divestment from Israel. Now this anti-Israel, anti-Jewish virus has spread through out the world.

The pro-Israel supporters outnumbered the pro-Hamas supporters who allegedly called for shutting down and occupying the street from the Federal Building to the Israeli Consulate.
